Ghost's Engine Bay Time Line

so i just removed my A/C and most of its componenents. took a while, but i love the way it looks.

heres how she started out.


^^wish i had all the shit im planning to remove when it was like that.



Now with No A/C componenets, NO EGR, No PS, and a few vacuum lines deleted. i am buying an "odyssey mini battery to my trunk. (aftermarket brand, not a van battery. lol) im also gonna lengthen and tuck my headlight harness' in my fender.





^^about 25lbs or so in that box.

Winter Mode. looks like poo.



P.S. this thread fueled my madness.

cuz im a crazy motherfucker.

well chris i would like to get rid of ABS, but its gonna be so much work, the other things are easier. it would be nice to loose the 25-30 of ABS components, but its not a definite the Non-ABS parts that I THINK are gonna work are. ive been getting screwed lately with parts i thought would work and not actually work.

i also want to relocate my fuse box to my glove compartment.

Had to make a comeback for this lol

That looks great Matt! It's always good to cut out some of the useless stuff. Once you get the Odyssey battery and the new CAI. You might regret the lack of AC though, and your arms will definitely get bigger from the lack of PS hahah... Now you just need ITBs or a Turbo.

I definitely gotta look into that meet...I've been out of the loop on this site for a while.

No problem . Make sure you've got a PBA card or a DT badge when you get those tints 'cause you will be getting pulled over more, especially if you come on the island.

Yeah, I haven't been to an AZ meet since...probably the one at Roosevelt park but that was a Lexus meet too. It was fun hanging out with all of you guys though.

I wish that HUGE meet that happened last February would happen again. The one that was up near Garden State Plaza Mall that started out as a Subaru Meet but spread all over the internet to become over 1000 cars...THAT was sick! I'll never forget how cold it was, but it was well worth it.

More meets definitely need to happen but people won't come out because of the weather.
